A series of photographs of the sky combined with the sentences: “Courts of law are independent and firm in their incorruptibility,” “Reasons of state are the only reasons for politicians to act,” “Honest, hard-working and unselfish people who willingly act for the common good live in Poland,” “High culture and excellent organization of society attract citizens to be socialy active”
The blue area is a manifestation of hope and lack of acceptance of falsehood, hypocrisy, and political deceit.

…If someone wants to talk about politics seriously, they usually give up confronted with the heaviness of the matter. You could easily end up wording grandiose, boring, naïve, or simplified opinions. Art isn’t the right medium for painstaking analyses of social or political issues. It is very difficult to prevent your political works from competing against press or television which are the right media for political information.
